    Pop Up Box to search and highlight

    How can I have a macro that asks you to enter a name of something into a text box and then searches for that text in a row and highlights the cell that it appears in?

    I need it to be kinda loose, like if Im looking for the words Emerging Markets Acc then if someone types in Emerging Markets then it will highlight it.

    Change your search string code so that it adds "*" wildcards before and after the typed in search string. Then use fewer letters to type in.

    Post your code (don't forget the code tags) if you want help editing it.
